Fact 2: – Shakti is conceptualised as divine Goddess Durga which is considered very sacred and powerful goddess all across the country and also in our neighbourhood countries like Nepal and Pakistan.

Now that is something as even in Vedic ages there were not much of gods/goddesses around and goddess Durga is worshipped like prehistoric times.Fact 4: – Few chapters of Rigveda and Samveda are dedicated to worship and appreciation of goddess Shakti. ‘Devi Sukta’, ‘IshaSukta’, ‘RatriSukta’ are all her praises described in detail in these Vedas.Fact 5: – Goddess had been invoked in every single mythical war which has eventually defined our whole existence like ‘Mahabharata’ or ‘Ramayana’.

Hats off to the spirit of fasting but my dear faster just keep these things in mind and celebrate these divine days happily.

Drink plenty of water.

Have curd.

Avoid fried food which actually includes fried Sabudana and Aloo or Papad.

Eat roasted Makhanas or nuts on frequent intervals just to save yourself from acidity.
